Question
Answer
berry aneurysm   saccular outpouching of vessel wall located in the circle of Willis; usually an expansion of a congenitally weak wall  
🗑
arteriosclerosis   hardening of the arteries, thickening and loss of elasticity of the vessel wall  
🗑
3 forms of arteriosclerosis   atherosclerosis, arteriolosclerosis, Mönckeberg medial calcification  
🗑
major non-modifiable risk factors of atherosclerosis   age (older is worse), sex (men have higher risk, post-menopausal women are similar), genetics (familial hypercholesterolemia increases risk of MI, stroke, etc.)  
🗑
major modifiable risk factors of atherosclerosis   hyperlipidemia (high LDL), HTN, DM (induces hyperchol'emia), cigarette smoking (1 ppd for yrs inc risk 200%)  
🗑
additional risk factors for atherosclerosis   elevated CRP is marker for complications of atherosclerosis, lipoprotein A competes with plasmin activity, lack of excercise, stress, obesity, hyperhomocystinemia  
🗑
intimal thickening   endothelial injury is caused by toxins in smoke, chol, infectious agents of hemodynamic disturbances. smooth muscle cells move from media to intima and start proliferating, causing intimal thickening  
🗑
fatty streak   linear and slight elevations in the intima that are filled with lipid-laden foam cells (macrophages that ingested oxidized LDL); precursor to plaque  
🗑
pathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaques   disturbances in endothelium caused by turbulent flow, LDL + ROS = squelch NO, toxic to endothelial and smooth muscle cells. monocytes/macrophages eat lipid and make more ROS further insulting endothelium and adding to plaque formation  
🗑
atherosclerotic plaque   eccentric mass lesion that can obstruct the lumen of an artery; contains SM cells, macrophages and T cells, EC matrix and lipid. are neovascularized, variable calcifications. components are: fibrous cap, shoulder and necrotic core  
🗑
complications of atherosclerosis   acutely: rupture, ulceration or erosion of the plaque will promote thrombosis and expansion of plaque size or occlusion of lumen // chronic: pressure of plaque atrophies media, can result in aneurysm that's prone to rupture  
🗑
how plaque size changes over time (chronic change)   increasing accumulation of LDL, continued production of collagen and/or resolution of hemorrhage  
🗑
claudication   like angina, but in the BLE - due to ischemia of musculature during exercise, ceases with rest  
🗑
areas where atherosclerosis can result in pathology   MI, stroke, PVD, mesenteric ischemia or infarction of organs, claudication  
🗑
2 most important contributors to (dys)regulation of BP   blood volume (CO, due to sodium conc'n, much up to RAAS) and peripheral resistance (controlled by arterioles, balance btwn vasoconstrictors and -dilators, also angiotensin II effect)  
🗑
RAAS   renin from JGA cells in kidney when pressure is low/vol reduced; renin makes angiotensin I to AII in lungs, which inc PVR and BP; aldosterone release causes retention of Na/H2O raising BP and blood vol  
🗑
renal causes of HTN   AGN, chronic renal dz, renal artery stenosis (one kidney thinks BP is low, releases renin causing global HTN), renin-producing tumors  
🗑
endocrine causes of HTN   hyper- or hypothyroidism, pheochromocytoma, exogenous hormones, Cushing syndrome, primary hyperaldosteronism (tumor of adrenal cortex)  
🗑
CV causes of HTN   coarctation of aorta, aortic stenosis and increased CO, increased blood vol  
🗑
neurologic causes of HTN   stress, psychogenesis, increased ICP (brain feels pressure is low b/c vessels are constricted)  
🗑
hyaline arteriolosclerosis   tiny microinfarcts replaced by hyaline deposits that are thick, acellular and eosinophilic. SM cells overproduce ECM; benign HTN  
🗑
hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis   SM cells thicken and BM is duplicated, concentric and laminated thickening like onion skin; malignant HTN  
🗑
important causes of aneurysms   atherosclerosis and cystic medial degeneration, syphilis infection or other bacteria - mycotic aneurysms, trauma  
🗑
syphilitic aneurysm   involve the thoracic aorta including aortic root commonly; pathogen obliterates vaso vasorum and causes medial ischemia, weakening the wall and allowing for aneurysm formation  
🗑
AAA pathogenesis   initimal plaques can compress the vasculature of the media and lead to infarct & necrosis. proteolysis by metalloproteinases, aortic wall inflammation, oxidative stress are big 3 factors  
🗑
clinical complications of AAA   rupture & hemorrhage, obstructing a branch like the mesenteric aa., emoblizaion of thrombus or plaque fragment, compression of adj structures, abd mass formation  
🗑
aortic dissections   usually due to HTN, rupture in intima allows blood to flow into vessel layers. mortality rate is high, rupture or hemorrhage can cause huge bleeds, aortic insufficiency, MI or sudden death  
🗑
common pathogenic mechanisms of vasculitis   infections and immune-mediated inflammation by immune complex formation, anti-neutrophil or anti-endothelial Abs  
🗑
arteriolar nephrosclerosis   caused by systemic HTN that affects the kidney's arterioles and causes fibrinous exudates on surface that appear granular grossly  
🗑
primary HTN   systemic HTN with no known underlying cause, aka idiopathic or essential HTN  
🗑
secondary HTN   HTN due to some known cause like neuroendocrine tumor, renal artery stenosis or coarctation of aorta  
🗑
aneurysm   abnormal dilation of the wall of a blood vessel or heart  
🗑
true vs false aneurysm   true - dilation of all 3 layers of the vessel wall vs false - hematoma outside the wall of the vessel, it's confined to an area so it appears to be dilation of the vessel wall  
🗑
saccular   eccentric outpouching of vessel wall involving only a segment of the wall  
🗑
fusiform   generalized, concentric dilation of the wall of the vessel  
🗑
mycotic aneurysm   due to infection of bacteria like Salmonella, cause suppurative inflammation of the media, bacteria in bloodstream directly infect arterial walls  
🗑
aortic dissection   tearing of the intima allows blood to enter the media of the vessel and travel within it  
🗑
cystic medial degeneration   seen in Marfan syndrome, areas of aortic aneurysm: elastic tissue is fragmented and separated by an amorphous and acellular proteoglycan-rich ECM  
🗑
Raynaud phenomenon   exaggerated vasoconstriction of arterioles and arteries in the digits. can be primary and due to cold or emotion in young women or secondary due to other dz like SLE or atherosclerosis  
🗑
varicose veins   dilated veins produced by increased intraluminal pressure or loss of vessel wall support  
🗑
thrombophlebitis   inflammation and thrombosis of veins  
🗑
triad of Wegener granulomatosis   acute necrotizing granulomas of upper resp tract, vasculitis in lungs and focal or crescentic glomerulonephritis  
🗑
esophageal varices   due to livver cirrhosis and congestion of portal vein; esophageal veins are alternate route of return of blood to heart bypassing fibrotic liver. dilation can cause rupture and fatal hemorrhage  
🗑
hemorrhoids   caused by prolonged vascular congestion from straining with BMs or preg; fates: thrombose, hemorrhage, will be painful  
🗑
causes of thoracic aortic aneurysm   Syphilis, bicuspid aortic valve, Marfan syndrome, vasculitis (Giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis  
🗑
Buerger dz aka thromboangiitis obliterans   medium, small vessels (esp. tibial/radial), segmental and acute vasculitis with luminal thrombses and microabscesses. < 35 y/o, heavy smokers, painful phlebitis, idiosyncratic immune response  
🗑
polyarteritis nodosa vs microscopic polyangiitis   exactly the same except MP involves lung, has temporally similar lesions and shows p-ANCA positivity vs PAN being Hep B immune complexes  
🗑
3 types of hemangiomas   cavernous (large spaces filled with blood and lined by bland endothelial cells), capillary (superficial & tightly packed with small vascular channels) and pyogenic granulomas  
🗑
telangiectasia   dilated pre-existing capillaries and veins in places like oral MM, organs and skin  
🗑
bacillary angiomatosis   vascular proliferations in the skin, bone and brain due to infection with Bartonella spp.  
🗑
types of Kaposi sarcoma   chronic (Eastern European older men on BLE, not a/w HIV), lymphadenopathic (Africa, aggressive neoplasm), transplant-associated (solid organs, aggressive neoplasm), AIDS-associated (very aggressive)  
🗑
Kaposi sarcoma etiology   caused by infection with human Herpesvirus 8  
🗑
Kaposi sarcoma morphology   patches then plaques then nodules at final stage. microscopically: angulated blood vessel with extravasated RBCs  
🗑
angiosarcoma   tumors from well-differentiated to poor, hepatic angiosarcomas & vinyl chloride use, in setting of lymphedema as in breast ca pts post-axillary lymphadenectomy  
🗑
